During my last semester in college, I got an internship at the Paul Cuffee School in Providence Rhode Island. The teacher was going to start a global warming unit and need help designing the unit and implementing it. It was for an 8th grade science class. I had just come out of three and a half years of power point and lectures at the university level and I found in super challenging to relate to 8th graders.I also forgot that there are other ways to learn besides power point presentation. Also, I had zero educational training in designing lesson plans nor did I know anything about an 8th grade curriculum. I basically had a crash course in student teaching in at an urban charter school. This was nothing like I had ever experienced before. Fortunately, my cooperating teacher was amazing. She taught be about the backwards design and about aligning the content to the standards. She taught me about differentiation and how to handle an urban population. I was in awe and I was inspired. I spent every minute I could at the school. I went to the professional developments, student lead conferences, field trips. I even stayed on after I graduated. I loved the charter school. I know in this education program, they don't push charter schools, but it was incredible. They were implementing all of the new techniques and pedagogical theories. The teachers and administrators were supportive of one another and there was a lot of communication. After finishing that internship, I took a year off from college worked in the lab and applied to the education program, so that I could become a teacher. During my year off, I went back in a volunteered again with the global warming unit. While I have yet to fall in love with another school like the Paul Cuffee School, I am still inspired to teach and to help urban youth. I know currently they are implementing a high school and it would be my ultimate goal to get a job there.
